Somedays it's tough to simply get out of bed.

lyrics

The Wakin' Up Blues

Five O'clock the doorbell rings
Satan takes off his shoes
Seven days later it's the same damn thing
man I got these wakin' up blues
Here I am a daily example
of what one can do to oneself
it's the same ol' line it's my desperation
leaving the world to itself

Lonely is as lonely does
peaceable, yea, for awhile
Wait for the hour, wait for the day
Hey I've been waiting for all of my life
Here I am with the latest expression
one I keep tryin' to sell
it's the same ol' line, it's my desperation
leaving the world to itself
I'll be leaving the world to itself

Oh God, I see, the line ahead
drawn on the paper of life
and as the audience learns to forget
we all go on paying the price
Here we are the bravest of strangers
planning on conquering hell
but it's the same ol' line it's our desperation
leaving the world to itself
we'll be leaving the world to itself
we'll be leaving the world to itself
